A classic Disney movie is getting the 4K treatment ahead of its 25th anniversary, celebrating a fan-favorite animated movie.
What Disney classic is getting a new 4K release?
The 2000 classic animated comedy The Emperor’s New Groove is getting a new 4K release, as well as a special theatrical run at Los Angeles’ El Capitan Theatre from November 21-23, 2025. The 4K release is set to arrive on December 9, 2025, and will also coincide with a new release on digital platforms.
The 4K release will include the 4K UHD, digital, and Blu-ray versions of the film, allowing fans to watch any of the versions they want.
Originally released in 2000, The Emperor’s New Groove stars David Spade as Emperor Kuzco, an emperor who is transformed into a llama by his ex-advisor, and must navigate how to return to his body while learning about himself. Alongside Spade, the movie also stars John Goodman, Eartha Kitt, Patrick Warburton, and Wendie Malick.
The film was directed by Mark Dindal and written by David Reynolds, and actually wasn’t a massive hit upon release. However, the movie became even bigger after its home media release, and was 2001’s best-selling home video release. In the years since, the movie has become one fans of Disney look back on fondly. It’s also the subject of underground documentary The Sweatbox, which chronicles the complicated production with several animator interviews.
More information on the film’s 4K release is likely to come in the future, including a look at what special features might be on the release — as well as pricing.
